Tote bags in vintage canvases purchased in flea markets

Announcement    Please have a look at my creations of canvas tote bags, all doubled and reversible, and mostly made from furniture fabrics found in flea markets: The Cabas de la Grande.
Rates are based on the size of the bags (often determined by vintage pieces) but also the rarity of fabrics, old or new coupons in limited quantities.
The bags are all handmade, even "home made in Paris Montmartre", since I live between the famous Saint Pierre Market at the edge of Sacre-Coeur Basilica and the Clignancourt flea market.
I started this activity in August 2017 as some sort of therapy in a heavy care course. Since the adventure continues and is gaining weight. Impossible for me to give up in front of the old curtains, improbable bedspreads and other abandoned coupons that await a new life and a new use in everyday life ...
The charged and colorful prints of the 1940s and 1950s no longer have place in our interior, but their quality of making and drawing can create accessories that sublimate all the outfits. Long live the stylish recycling!
